THERE ARE JUST 2 WAYS TO ACHIEVE SUCCESS :-

LEARNING -> GROWTH
PRACTICE -> PERFECTION

IF YOU JUST PRACTICE YOU WILL NOT GROW .
IF YOU JUST DO LEARNING YOU WILL NOT BE PERFECT .

BOTH ARE REQUIRED FOR SUCCESS.

Thanks a lot sir can you tell how can i improve myself in coding .
What are things that I have to learn ?

  1. Learning
    Choose a platform where you can be exposed to a variety of problems, preferably blind-style (where you don’t know the topics required to solve a particular problem beforehand). I highly recommend SPOJ, sorted by decreasing order of users.

  2. Practice
    Do the long contests regularly, so that you can put to use what you’ve learnt. This will doubly solve as practice. I find this a good resource.

  3. Upsolve
    Whenever you encounter a contest problem that you weren’t able to solve, always solve it afterwards. Read up the editorial first, and then try to code it without looking at the author’s solution. If that doesn’t help out, refer to the solutions posted by the author/tester/other users.

Good luck. =)
